The Suffering of God: An Old Testament Perspective (Overtures

The Suffering of God: An Old Testament Perspective (Overtures to Biblical Theology)

Fretheim deals with the ideas of a God in the midst of his creation, of opening himself up to his creation allowing himself to be hurt by that creation, and a God who empowers his creation and desires his creation to work alongside him. These texts and themes are typically overlooked because of ignorance of the Old Testament, and the difficulty some people have with reading the prophets, where one finds a lot of scandalous ideas about God. A great book for those familiar with these themes or are new to such ideas, and new to those ideas in the Old Testament.
